Question

1.What are the measures of a 30-60-90 triangle with a hypotenuse of 24?
2. What are the measures of a 30-60-90 triangle with a short side of 8?
3. What are the measures of a 30-60-90 triangle with a long side of 8?
Can someone please help! I can't figure it out

Answer 1

so u want to figure the short side? for number1

Answer 2

The hypetonuse

Answer 3

Is that how it works for all three?

Answer 4

i think not sure

Answer 5

oh okay, thank you

Answer 11

ALL 30-60-90 triangles are similar so you can solve them using proportions. Also, the 30-60-90 triangle have these properties:
1- the shortest side is ALWAYS half the length of the hypotenuse;
2- the other leg is (shortest side) * sqrt(3)
